VOTES: Oregon State, West Virginia, Tennessee, Auburn, Cal, OU, Nebraska and Notre Dame.

Javid Best of California got seriously hurt in a touchdown leap for the ages, but he will recover. It was scary, and I am quite happy the young man will be fine.....Navy has now sunk Notre Dame tow years in a row, and now one has too wonder if the Irish will be making a coaching change....Bill Snyder can coach, and this is obvious if you look at the progression of Kansas State this year......Colorado will be making a coaching change,and Memphis fired Tommy West today....LSU lost several key players in the contest versus Alabama, got ripped off on an interception by the officials and fell to the Crimson Tide, who secured a spot versus Florida in the SEC Title game.....Ohio State stymied Penn State fairly easily......Never have there been so few quality teams out there.....Jim Harbaugh is doing a great job at Stanford and onemay wonder if he may be a candidate to come home to Michigan, cause Rich Rod ain't what he is cracked up to be......Iowa, finally, was exposed as the fraud they are.....Oklahoma now has 4 losses and may be looking at a few more, perhaps missing a bowl....South Carolina is in the midst of yet another late season collapse.

The Florida State Seminoles held Clemson in check on the road for three quarters, but could not hold the fourth as Clemson pulled away. Seminole quarterback Christian Ponder, playing with broken ribs apparently, was not himself throwing 4 picks. Late in the game, he made a touchdown saving stop on one of them and wrecked his shoulder, ending his season. This spells even more trouble for FSU, as the consecutive bowl streak at 27 seems to be coming to an end unless EJ Manuel can light it up, which is not probable. Ponder had a great season, and was about the only bright spot in a dismal year for us Seminoles.

Nebraska, behind a dominating defense, held Oklahoma without a touchdown for the first time under Bob Stoops and dumped the Sooners in Lincoln. This particular Oklahoma fan is sickened at the thought of it and did not like it one bit. This rivalry was once tops in the country and the teams and fans continue to have the utmost respect for each other. GBR!
